**************
Essence Gathering Cultivation : (Low-Mid-High-Peak)
A Cultivation System unique to the Humans.
This Cultivation System basically enables humans to cultivate heaven and earth energy.
First Stage: Meridian Refinement Stage (Life-span: ~100)
Cultivating the heaven and earth energy starts at this stage.
The cultivator takes in very small amounts of energy available in the atmosphere to temper the meridians, making it capable of storing energy.
Second Stage: Energy Condensation Stage (Life-span: ~150 )
After the meridians are refined, it becomes capable of absorbing and storing heaven and earth energy.
Third Stage: Revolving Core Stage (Life-span: ~300)
After storing enough energy in the meridians, the cultivator forms the revolving core by gathering all the energy stored into the dantian.
Fourth Stage: Body Transformation Stage (Life-span: ~500)
After the core has reached its peak capacity, the cultivator reconstructs the body with the heaven and energy, while also adapting it to the laws that one has trained in.
This is also the first stage which helps the cultivator to regrow the severed parts of their body because each of the cells in the body is imbued with heaven and earth energy.

Condensing one's comprehension of a law into a seed, and planting it in the revolving core.

The sea of laws in the inner world compresses and gives birth to a rune, which is capable of suppressing the inferior laws of its kind once the rune is conjured out.
**************
Soul Forging Cultivation : (Low-Mid-High-Peak)
A cultivation system that is capable of increasing the soul force and essence of humans.
Humans will only be able to cultivate their souls when they reach strong enough to sense their souls.
First Stage: Nascent Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: same as current lifespan provided by the other two cultivation systems)
The requirements are either Revolving Core Stage or Gold Stage. One is able to sense their Soul Sea when they reach the requirements.
The mysterious soul takes a nascent-like form, which gives the ability to use Soul Sense.
Second Stage: Infant Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: same as current lifespan provided by the other two cultivation systems)
The soul undergoes a change and grows into an infant form, giving birth to soul force.
Third Stage: Young Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: same as current lifespan provided by the other two cultivation systems)
The soul takes the shape of the cultivator.
The cultivator is able to summon their soul body out of the soul sea but lose control over their fleshy body.
When the soul body is summoned out, the cultivator is only able to control it because the soul essence enters the soul body from the soul sea.
Fourth Stage: Adult Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: same as current lifespan provided by the other two cultivation systems)
The cultivator becomes capable of controlling their fleshy body while still having their soul body outside, meaning that the soul essence increases to a quality that enhances the cultivator's control to manipulate both the soul body and fleshy body.
Fifth Stage: Elder Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: same as current lifespan provided by the other two cultivation systems)
The cultivator no longer needs to place the soul essence into the soul body to control it, so the cultivator no longer needs to worry about dying in case if the soul body dies while being outside.
In conclusion, one is able to have their soul body get destroyed without having to worry about dying in the process because their soul essence stays in the Soul Sea.
Sixth Stage : Mature Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: Adds ~500 years to the soul)
Where the soul body is able to independently exist without the help of the body, because it is able to host the Soul Sea and Soul Essence.
The soul sea is no longer bound to the body, so after the natural or artificial death of the fleshy body, the soul sea enters the soul body and with that, the cultivator is able to live temporarily in soul form even after natural death.
(A state of death but not since the soul is still alive. It is a case of 'The body had given out but the soul is still kicking alive')
Before this stage, if the fleshy body dies, the cultivator is still able to escape with the soul body but since there is no soul sea to host the soul body, the soul body experiences deterioration and eventually dies out within the cultivator's remaining life-span.
But in this stage, since the soul sea is safe with the soul body, the cultivator can reform a new fleshy body to host the soul body, until the soul of the cultivator dies out.
In the case of artificial death, the remaining life-span is added to the fleshy body.
In the case of natural death, if the cultivator is able to breakthrough the next stage in one of the three cultivation systems before the soul lifespan runs out, the cultivator gains additional life-span depending on the cultivation system the cultivator broke through.
Seventh Stage : Supreme Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: Adds 2000 years to soul)
The soul body materializes, not at all appearing transparent any more.
The soul sea expands which makes the cultivator to store more Soul Force that is equal to the storage capacity of Seventh Stage Essence Gathering Cultivators.
Eighth Stage : King Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: Adds 8,000 years to soul)
Etching the laws in one's soul sea causes one's soul force to experience a qualitative morph. The soul becomes capable of suppressing people with its higher quality or also said as a regal/kingly aura.
Becomes able to use Soul Domain.
Ninth Stage : Emperor Soul Stage (Soul Life-span: Adds 30,000 years to soul)
The laws etched in the soul sea turns into rune-like symbols and combines into the soul essence, making one's soul force experience a qualitative leap.
Soul Domain becomes ten times stronger.
**************
SECOND STEP
Immortal Cultivation (Human, Fey)
When a cultivator sheds their mortal skin using all three cultivations, they would become an immortal.
They would create an Immortal Vessel inside their body, which creates a seamless yet wide pathway between the lower dantian and the middle dantian where the source Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation laid.
It is a cultivation path that conjoins Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation while leaving the Soul Forging Cultivation for separate advancement.
The Immortal Vessel has four types of foundations, namely Cracked, Mortal, Earth and Heaven.
A Mortal Immortal Vessel is only obtainable after peaking all three cultivation systems and breaking through to become an Immortal. It's called a true or perfected Mortal Immortal Vessel.
If such a perfected Mortal Immortal Vessel is cracked, then they would lose their advantage in prowess and lose the ability to enter the next stage. Their cultivation ends in Immortal Foundation Stage as they have received a Cracked Immortal Vessel, which is incomplete and could only be mended using resources used to create Earth Immortal Vessel.
The Earth Immortal Vessel is capable of allowing immortals to enter the Immortal Emperor Stage and the Heaven Immortal Vessel is capable of allowing immortals to advance further.
Nonetheless, they would lose their advantage in prowess if their Immortal Vessels cracked.
First Stage : Immortal Stage (Life-span : 100,000 - 10,000,000 years)
Second Stage : Immortal King Stage (Life-span : 1,000,000 - 100,000,000 years)
Third Stage : Immortal Emperor Stage (Life-span : 10,000,000 - 1,000,000,000)
**************
Transcendent Cultivation (Human, Fey)
When a cultivator sheds their mortal skin using all three cultivations, they would become a transcendent.
They would create a Transcendent Wheel inside their body, near the middle dantian, which connects all three cultivations where the source of the Essence Gathering Cultivation, Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation laid.
Has significantly lesser lifespan than Immortal Cultivation System in the first two stages
It is a cultivation path that focuses on improving all three cultivations and hence, although slightly slower in advancement, still provides a better advantage against immortals who only improve their Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation while tending to forget their souls most of the time because of lack of resources.
(Types : retracted)
First Stage : Transcendent Stage (Life-span : ~1,000,000 years)
Second Stage : Monarch Stage (Life-span : ~ 10,000,000 years)
Third Stage : Sovereign Stage (Life-span : ~ 1,000,000,000 years)
**************
**************
Magical Beasts Cultivation (Low-Mid-High-Peak)
Magical Beasts can't cultivate but can grow with time to their limits. They only have a single breakthrough in cultivation system that improves both their body and soul in the Mortal Realm. They can innately link with heaven and earth energy with their bloodline, and that helps them learn laws from their bloodline.
